The key driver for thermoformed plastics is their large application base in the food packaging industry. The main requirement for the food packaging industry is a superior barrier to bacteria, odor and moisture to the food product, which is provided by thermoformed plastics. In addition, it is used in manufacture of pharmaceutical articles. Thermoformed plastics are cost effective and thus, they are used in a wide range of applications. Plastics used in thermoforming are petrochemical based polymers.

The key restraint to the thermoformed plastics market is the fluctuation in the prices of the raw materials used. High labor cost of manufacturing thermoplastics also affects the market of thermoformed plastics. In addition, during the thermoforming process, precise wall thickness is difficult to achieve along with uniform thickness all across the product. This results in less durability and less weight bearing capacity of the plastic product. Thus, manufacturers look for substitutions to thermoformed polymers.

Changing lifestyle and increasing disposable income of consumers in countries such as China and India will affect the food packaging in this region. This in turn will affect the thermoforming plastics market in this region. In addition, there is an increasing scope of application of thermoforming process as manufacturers are looking at replacing injection molding process by thermoforming process due to the lower tooling costs and high-speed production. 

Some of the major manufacturers in the thermoformed plastic industry include Anchor Packaging, Pactiv, Associated Packaging Technologies, Peninsula Packaging, Placon Corporation, Tegrant, Genpak and CM Packaging.

Linear Alkyl Benzene Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, And Forecast, 2012 - 2018

Linear alkyl benzene is primarily produced as intermediate when surfactants are produced for utilization in detergents. Linear alkyl benzene is derived exclusively from petroleum derivatives such as benzene & linear paraffin. Linear alkyl benzene is converted to linear alkyl benzene sulfonate which is a biodegradable surfactant. Alkyl benzene sulfonate is used as a surfactant in household & industrial detergents, in emulsifiers in agricultural herbicides, and as a wetting agent.

Browse Report : http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/linear-alkyl-benzene-market.html

The global linear alkyl benzene market is segmented into America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. The market share of North America and Europe are declining because new linear alkyl benzene production facilities are being set up in emerging economies to meet their increasing demand. The increasing demand for linear alkyl benzene in developing countries reflects their gradual shift from soaps to synthetic detergents. During the years from 2012 to 2018, the demand is expected to grow at a steady rate; however, the growth rate might vary according to the region.

The growing demand from the end-users of the Asia-Pacific region is driving the demand in the linear alkyl benzene market. Asia has emerged as the largest producer as well as consumer market of linear alkyl benzene / alkyl benzene sulfonate in the recent years. The Middle East continues to be a major net exporter for linear alkyl benzene/ alkyl benzene sulfonate. Studies carried out on linear alkyl benzene have also shown that it has no detrimental impact on the environment and human health, which drives the demand for linear alkyl benzene.

The decline in demand from mature markets of linear alkyl benzene such as North America, Western Europe, and Japan is a matter of concern. The demand for linear alkyl benzene is on the decline in these markets because manufacturers of detergents are coming up with detergents that contain fewer alkyl benzene sulfonates which have very less impact on its performance. The trend towards increase in the use of liquid detergent products from traditional powder detergent products, which were the major consumer of alkyl benzene sulfonate, is restraining the demand in the linear alkyl benzene market. 

The rate of the feed stock used i.e. benzene and linear paraffin can also hurt producers of linear alkyl benzene.

Some of the leading manufacturers of linear alkyl benzene include Amreya Petroleum Refining, Bisotun Petrochemical, CEPSA Quimica, Chemische Fabrik Wibarco, Chevron Phillips Chemical, Deten Quimica, Emalab, Formosan Union Chemical, Fushun Petrochemical, and Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL).
